Fantastic experience! Highly recommend!

We hired Crook & Company for our garden wedding reception outside Green Bay. They traveled 2 hours to get to us. They played as a duet for the cocktail hour, and after dinner the full quartet played swing for approximately 3 hours.

When we were planning our reception Arron was responsive to our questions and professional. He was helpful for much more than just the aspects directly related to the music. He clearly communicated his needs to our wedding coordinator and made several suggestions for changes to our schedule that worked out great.

The band’s performance went above and beyond our expectations, bringing a classy vibe to our garden wedding. They are passionate and talented performers. Arron has a beautiful voice. Many of the guests noted that the whole band seemed to be enjoying themselves. They were very personable with guests and took several requests. They were flexible and adaptive through the whole event, quickly adjusting to several last second changes that arose. Arron helped with announcements and provided sound equipment to use for speeches after dinner.

Several of our guests had musical backgrounds and commented on the technical quality of the performance. Many asked us, “Where did you find these guys? They are great!”

We had a fantastic experience and highly recommend Crook & Company!
